Why we recommend it
Hôtel Providence is a small boutique hotel in a 19th-century building on Rue René Boulanger, in the 10th arrondissement between Place de la République and the Porte Saint-Martin. It has 18 rooms and holds a 4-star rating, and it combines the intimacy of a townhouse with the energy of a busy bar and restaurant on the ground floor. The decor is eclectic and colourful, with patterned wallpaper, antique and vintage furniture and plenty of character.
Each room is decorated individually, with rich fabrics, comfortable beds and well-designed bathrooms, and a playful touch in many rooms is a small cocktail bar with ingredients to mix your own drinks. The larger rooms and top-floor rooms have more light and views over the Paris rooftops, while the smaller rooms are compact but carefully planned. The piano bar on the ground floor is open from 11am to 1am and is a popular meeting place for locals as well as guests, and the hotel also has its own restaurant. A concierge service helps with restaurant bookings and tickets.
The hotel suits couples, solo travellers and anyone who wants a stylish, characterful base in the east of central Paris, close to the Canal Saint-Martin and the bars and restaurants of the 10th and 11th arrondissements. It is not a large hotel with extensive facilities, and there is no spa or fitness centre, so it suits guests who plan to spend their days out exploring.
Prices are in the upper-middle range for Paris. Booking directly through the hotel's website offers the full choice of rooms, and the reception team can be reached at [email protected]. Because the bar is lively in the evenings, guests who want quiet may prefer a room on an upper floor. Booking a table in the restaurant is wise at weekends.
République station, served by metro lines 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11, is about five minutes' walk away, and Strasbourg–Saint-Denis is also nearby. The Canal Saint-Martin is a ten-minute walk north-east, while the Marais, the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis and the theatres of the Boulevard Saint-Martin are all within easy reach on foot.
